327 – Mike and Mike – Losing Employees and Goal Setting

Just Start Real Estate l Real Estate Investing Explained l Daily Shows Designed To Entertain, Inspire And Educate

This Week’s Episode:

This week, I’m joined by my business partner, Mike Cowper. These episodes with Mike are great because we share what’s going on with our business and we provide you with actionable items for your business.

In this conversation, you will hear Mike and I talk about a recent incident. We had one of our employees leave and we needed to rebound and recover from this situation. While we weren’t completely satisfied with this person, we weren’t exactly ready for them to leave. This person leaving put us in a bit of a bind and we explain how we dealt with that situation.

This leads us into a discussion on goals. Because we have goals and track our company’s numbers, we were able to identify that this individual was not producing up to our expectations. We talk about our goals and Mike briefly touches on 30-60-90 goals. We also explain why education is important in accomplishing goals.

If you’re interested in learning more about our coaching, email me – [e-mail]. We’d love to help you meet your goals in 2017.

If investing and real estate is your dream, there is only one way you can make it reality…JUST START!
